November 20, 2014: The 222 city and road drivers at the big Charlotte terminal voted Yes for the Teamsters Union in an NLRB election. It’s the largest union win at FedEx Freight to date, and brings the number of Teamster-represented FedEx Freight workers to about 400.
Congratulations to the FedEx Freight brothers and sisters, and to Local 71.
The IBT press release on the vote is here.
Teamsters nurses and their supporters marched from the Iowa capitol to Unity Point Health Iowa Methodist Medical Center to demand that their union election be certified.
The Teamster Independent Investigations Officer (IIO) has issued a report recommending charges against Joe Smith, the principal officer of Delaware Local 326, for illegally driving union-owned cars for more than a decade after getting convicted of a DUI and for lying under oath during the investigation.
